i happened to catch him outside when we visited a few days ago. my bf went inside to order & i stayed in in the car with our old dog. i heard someone start to greet her & i look over & it was Mr. Coop. glad to see his handsome face in person. we chatted a bit & i couldn't help but confess we had just seen him the night before on this video! he was happy for the opportunity & the business. :)
Thank you for not being bothered by Phil’s so called bbq. Thank you for hitting the local known places to be. Cooper is one hell of a guy and the BBQ is top notch. Bow legged is a hidden gem that not to many know about. It is to notch as well
Grand ol BBQ's original location is actually the 32nd street spot. They closed it for a few years and opened up in Flinn Springs before re-opening the 32nd street location
The North Park location for Grande Ole BBQ has actually been there for many years now. They just reopened about a year ago because they closed during the pandemic and expanded to include the neighboring storefront.
Great video Jay, the food looks wonderful. I’m happy that you’re showing smaller businesses in San Diego, and the owners seem like nice people. Fantastic choice of background music as well. Thanks bro.
thanks for this. we watched it a few nights ago & went to Coop's the very next day! their jerk chicken may not be spicy, but goddamn is it good! i also really love their bbq sauce. it's on the sweet side, isn't very zesty, but there's something deep & complex about it that i fell in love with. it tasted good with all the meats we tried. Coop's makes my favorite sweet potato pie, so it's always a must! delicious brisket, too. looking forward to trying Bowlegged Bbq next!
Nice video. GOBA's NP location is actually the original. It opened about 6 years ago then they opened Flinn Springs 3yrs ago and GOBA NP closed for renovations for a couple years. Check out Space Kat Bbq on India St at Aero Club. They'll reopen after the new year and their que is legit
I always load up on the chimichurri when I go to GoB. Sunday is a great day to when they have the South American style BBQ going. The Lamb is also great.
You missed Smokin J’s at 14035 Midland Rd, Poway, seriously amazing . Their pork belly is TO DIE FOR, they smoke their meats for 12-16 hours overnight so it’s super tender. I found about it when I visited for a haircut at my aunts shop. Truly a gem❤
Smokin J's now has a second location in the Gaslamp with a kickass pitmaster, Rick Daniels who used to helm the much loved, but now gone, Iron Pig Alehouse in Pacific Beach.
Mr. Coops is on my San Diego BBQ list. Not sure where Lemon Grove is though. Bowlegged sounds like my kind of home Tx style BBQ. Cali BBQ not TX BBQ, but wings varied.
Probably been away too long bcuz was raised in Lemon Grove n Spring Valley areas n never heard about Coops til now. We were pretty much raised on Fargo’s BBQ, but NOT sure if they even exist anymore? Gna have to check them out next time I’m back home. YES, our fam orders @Cali BBQ take out often.🥰 Ahh man those wings look delicious!💕Enjoyed it.😍 Ty for sharing.😊
Jaycation! Really dig this bbq series butyoure missing El Barbeque. Hidden gem but been winning awards in SD Reader and so has chef Ami. They actually were part of grand Ole bbq. Great food and better people. Also, Mr. Coop is such a cool dude!
Another fantastic list of recommendations!! You need to give Oak and Anchor BBQ a try. They don't have a brick and mortar establishment but, they can be found at Lane Field Park down at the Embarcadero most weekends. It is veteran owned and operated and does not disappoint!!!! Cheers!!!!!
Coop's is LITERALLY the BEST!!!! His brisket potato is my favorite and I could eat my weight in his greens. Grand Ole BBQ comes a close second IMO but only for their brisket, everything else is a no go for me. I was scared to watch this video because I'm all like if he says Phil's....... I'm never watching another video.
I still have to go to Grand Ole and Cali. Mr. Coop's is always good. Bowlegged is sometimes a miss with their ribs, but all in all good. We also go to Cali Comfort because they have the best beans and we used to get their Tailgater special to go all the time. Great job on this video, man. Keep it up! Maybe a (San Diego) National City Filipino food spots next time? That's my 'hood!
These all look great! If you ever head back to the Phoenix area, hit up Little Mrs. BBQ. Would love to know how it stacks up against these places in SD!
I love ya, bro... you've helped me find some real gems to hit up when we visit my mother-in-law.... but, I'm from Texas, man. You guys don't really have "bbq". There are some good places that are bbq-tangents, but none that really do it like it should be.
Wondering if certain markets that sell tri-tips sell bad ones that don’t barbecue properly for example maybe because they don’t have adequate fat and are trimmed too much or the fat is inside the tri-tip instead of on the outside making it oily and ugly?
Mr. Coop is so down to earth, great interview
He is! Great vibes

Does Coops Have Mac & Cheese?

Good to know about the south american style bbq days

Smokin J's now has a second location in the Gaslamp with a kickass pitmaster, Rick Daniels who used to helm the much loved, but now gone, Iron Pig Alehouse in Pacific Beach.
Oh i love Barbecue 😮
Bbq is so good! 😍
Mr. Coops is on my San Diego BBQ list. Not sure where Lemon Grove is though. Bowlegged sounds like my kind of home Tx style BBQ. Cali BBQ not TX BBQ, but wings varied.
Lemon Grove is east county off the 94 freeway
Probably been away too long bcuz was raised in Lemon Grove n Spring Valley areas n never heard about Coops til now. We were pretty much raised on Fargo’s BBQ, but NOT sure if they even exist anymore? Gna have to check them out next time I’m back home.
YES, our fam orders @Cali BBQ take out often.🥰 Ahh man those wings look delicious!💕Enjoyed it.😍 Ty for sharing.😊
Thats awesome! My cousin lives in Spring Valley, a few great spots to eat there. Youll love coops!
Try Del's Hideout. Great pitmaster. He also runs the BBQ at Coaster Saloon and Pioneer.
I love coops ❤❤❤❤❤
Steven is my boy from high school! What up Twinkie!!!
Support coops
Yessirp!
Coooops!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥...tried most of the others....👎🏾👎🏾..Opry is in contention....for #1 spot

They def know how to do tasty wings!
Great Job Professional Class
I appreciate that Todd! Thanks
@@Jaycation Happy Holidays check out the Seaford Market San Diego Enjoy
Jaycation! Really dig this bbq series butyoure missing El Barbeque. Hidden gem but been winning awards in SD Reader and so has chef Ami. They actually were part of grand Ole bbq. Great food and better people. Also, Mr. Coop is such a cool dude!
El BBQ is now closed
We have been to Coop's - best ever!
Love Coops! Im craving it
Clearly, I’ve been under a rock for nearly 12 years. Looks like I’ve got some BBQ joints to check out.
All good! U just needed to discover it!
Coops is great!!
Love it!
I’ve been going there over before it was Coops, there was another BBQ spot there before Mr. Coop bought it. Coops is #1!
Love Coops!
I love you showing some new spots, but best BBQ in San Diego is still Smokin J's!, I was hoping they made a repeat but good to see some other spots
Smokin Js is great! Happy to have featured them in part 1!
Fallbrook Rib Shack on Old HWY 385. When Pigs Fly in downtown Vista. Calhoun's Family Texas BBQ on Washington and A in Murrieta.
Thanks for the north county recs!
@Jaycation no problem. I plan on checking out a couple of the BBQ's in your video. Thanks for showcasing them.
As a local. I can say an honorable mention would be Cali comfort in spring valley
Cali comfort is amazing! Theyre featured in part 1
How about IQue BBQ in Spring Valley, right off 94E?
Must stop by Coop's.
Jay loves that SAUSAGE!
I’ll be trying it out!
Enjoy!
Throw Felix BBQ in the mix, too.
Ill look it up!
Can someone please review north county BBQ ? PLEASE.
Need to try where pigs fly they have two locations in San Diego !!! 💥🔥
Used to work with Steven before he started working BBQ. Funny to see him in your video.
Thats awesome! Funny guy great energy
Should give buckboards in El Cajon a shot.
Thanks for the rec!
live in daygo and i never look for bbq spots aha we just do it ourselves 😂
Ugh i'm supposed to be dieting today, i hate you.
Haha im sure youre doing fine
Another fantastic list of recommendations!! You need to give Oak and Anchor BBQ a try. They don't have a brick and mortar establishment but, they can be found at Lane Field Park down at the Embarcadero most weekends. It is veteran owned and operated and does not disappoint!!!! Cheers!!!!!
Nice! Thanks for the rec ill have to give them a try some time!
Im from beaumont city! I will come back for this place i will try everything! Im looking for 3 months best bbq in SD now i know..😊😊
Nice! Try em all
Love me some grand ole

LOL dont watch my part 1 bbq video then cuz it may infuriate u 🤣
Coope texas sausage is meat perfection
Flying back to San Diego 1/1....I'm going to meet Mr. Coop
Nice! Tell him i said hello!
Heritage from OC is opening a 2nd location in Oceanside on the 01/14/23.
Steven is a funny great personality guy I knew him since when I was in middle and he was working where I went after school all the time lol
Steven is great! Always brings the energy
Yes you should do this every year or two
Gotta find some new bbq gems!
Smokin J’s Poway. The best brisket.
Yup featured in part 1
I still have to go to Grand Ole and Cali. Mr. Coop's is always good. Bowlegged is sometimes a miss with their ribs, but all in all good.

Cali comfort is fire. Also buckboards in El Cajon super quality
Coops is only a couple miles from my house. I'm an irregular regular.
Nice! Glad u irregularly regularly visit
Gotta go support at coops
Yessir!
These all look great! If you ever head back to the Phoenix area, hit up Little Mrs. BBQ. Would love to know how it stacks up against these places in SD!
Saved for spring training 2023! 🤣
I Que BBQ in spring valley is 🔥
Thanks for the rec
13:04 Carlos! Went to school with him😊
Mom and Pops must be BBQ'd out! lol
Haha not as much cuz i spread the filming of this out and brocation ate everything from coops before my parents got to it
COOPS BEST IN SD!
I love ya, bro... you've helped me find some real gems to hit up when we visit my mother-in-law.... but, I'm from Texas, man. You guys don't really have "bbq". There are some good places that are bbq-tangents, but none that really do it like it should be.
The food is ridiculous there! Always worth!
So worth it!
I will try the foods great video
Thanks bro! Enjoy
Coops got da best smoked Tamales 🫔
Now i wanna try those Tamales
Wondering if certain markets that sell tri-tips sell bad ones that don’t barbecue properly for example maybe because they don’t have adequate fat and are trimmed too much or the fat is inside the tri-tip instead of on the outside making it oily and ugly?
Tri tip is for people that can't cook brisket
Valley farms !!!
Bad to the bone bbq is good
Ill have to check it out
They got the best food thank Los Angeles and Orange County 🍊
Thank them for what? Lol
